Yes! I am blogging! Want to know why after 3+ weeks, I am finally blogging? Because my mother-in-law is here! So despite the fact that after getting both boys down for a nap, cleaning up the house and responding to a few e-mails, Conrad woke up after a total of 25 minutes asleep, I am still sitting here blogging and watching Real Housewives of NJ (Seriously, Teresa stop spending money! You are going bankrupt, why are you going to effing Italy? Ok, rant over), while Conrad is rocked by his Cilla. Yay!
So to the point of this post....I spend too much time at Target. Want to know how I know this? Because Joseph has started playing "Target". Yup, he demanded we play Target the other day while his brother napped.
So, we loaded up some shelves with Target-like wares (some plates and cups, food products, baby products) and Joseph selected his merchandise and loaded his cart:
Then he had me check him out using a bubble wand and some "beep beep" sound effects:
He, of course, had to pay for his purchase with his Gymboree gift card turned Debit Card, which he swiped just like Mommy would:
He loaded his bags back into his cart (with Raggedy Andy playing the part of "baby"):
And headed straight to the elevator (because our Target has an elevator) aka his closet with makeshift buttons:
We played for nearly an hour yesterday until Conrad woke up...at which time, Joseph threw his cart over and stomped out of the room at the mere idea that I would allow his brother to play along. Joseph loved this game so much that he woke up at 5 am (yes, 5 am) today to start playing. Isn't that fabulous?

that is really cute! you definitely are well-equipped to play "target" what with the shelves, merchandise, shopping cart, and elevator.
we are really high class, because we play "chick-fil-a" in our family. we don't even go there that often, but joseph loves it. not as much as he loves "camping" though. he has no idea what real camping is, but he is really into hanging out under blankets and pretending to camp.
The Target play is SUPER cute, as are the pictures.
The 5am thing not so cute.
What a fantastic mommy you are to provide such a fun playtime!! Joseph and Conrad are two lucky, lucky little boys!!!!
I got the biggest kick out of this. Joseph is so very cute. I love it!!!!
